New AR fag here
Just about to finish my m16 a2 Clone build.
What ammo do you guys recommend?
The barrel is crome lined
20in
1:8 twist
I will be mostly shoot targets for run at the range.
wolf gold

Live ammo works best

Only Hornady polymer tipped varmint ammo.

just buy a variety of different brands with bullet weights that match your twist and see which shoots best in your gun. or reload and work up your own load.

What barrel manufacturer does a 1:8 a2 profile?
Feed it anything and everything sans steel case unless you blasting
Just use wolf gold if it's just for fun plinking at the range. I think it's $310 a case at sgammo. Shot 2000 rounds of it and never had an issue, and cheap. For yote hunting I like using ADI Outback Ammo 223 BlitzKing.
I would recommend ammunition that includes bullets and power. primers also help.

Agreed

And SGAmmo has 1000 round cases in stock. Though they also have cases of Israeli green tip for about $0.05 more a round.

Not sure, the upper was a complete kit form AR15 sport.com
They had a 1:12 and 1:7 as well
I was told the 1:8 would work better without having to shoot faster ammo.

>I was told the 1:8 would work better without having to shoot faster ammo.
it has to do with bullet weight and stabilization of said bullet. certain twists rates perform better with certain weights but for generic plinking, buy whatever is cheapest, like wolf gold.
also, dont think of it as absolute rules, like 1/7 can only shoot 62 grain and above. its more like overlapping bell curves.

XM193 to take advantage of that velocity OP
3,200 FPS boom!
